Mr.. A. K. Mann, while working at Cruises

authority. There is also belief among a
large number of people that he
has gone to South America When
he took the Northeastern train for
Charleston, on the night of his flight,
he could have continued to Tampa,
Fla, and reached that city the same day
that a vessel was advertised to sail for South
America. There is nothing new relative to

about it. 1t is not yet known whether or
not the matter will be tried at the October

when the drafts were drawn. Mr.. Bowman
heard of the remark, and meeting Col.
Wallace on Main street, in front of
the court house this morning, asked
him about it. Col. Wallace replied
that he had said it, whereupon Mr..
Bowman said that he did have money in the
